Want indoor flowers to explode into a full pot? These 5 easy ones even beginners can grow into a pot overflowing with blooms
"I want to grow some flowering plants indoors, but either they don't survive, or they only bloom one or two flowers. Is there any kind that will fill a pot even if you barely try?" Creating a little indoor world bursting with flowers is the dream of many plant lovers. Choosing varieties with lots of blooms and long flowering periods can fill a limited space with life and color. Today we're rounding up 5kinds of flowers with so many blooms they cover the pot, and the key point is they're easy to keep alive.
Kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana): the cockroach of the flowering world. It isn't as fussy as other flowers; put it on a windowsill where it gets a bit of sun and it will bloom from winter all the way to spring, and some can even bloom for nearly half a year. It's also extremely drought-tolerant, so watering once every ten days to half a month is enough. Come back after a half-month business trip and it will still be blooming vigorously. If you pick it for your first time growing flowers, it will absolutely restore your confidence.
Wax begonia (Begonia semperflorens): just from the name you can tell it blooms very readily. As long as the temperature is right, it can bloom all year round. This flower's bloom count is astonishing; a small pot can push out dozens of flowers, with pink, red and white petals packed together, looking lively at a glance. It isn't picky about its environment; just put it somewhere in the living room with diffused light, no need for harsh sun, and don't water too much to avoid root rot. The key point is it's also cheap; you can buy a pot for just over ten yuan, giving superb value for money.
Petunia (Petunia): a specialist at filling pots; give it plenty of sunlight and it will bloom in a way that surprises you. It's suited to growing in hanging baskets, hung on a balcony or by a window, with the branches and leaves trailing down covered entirely in flowers, giving a wonderful atmosphere. It's also very tough; if you occasionally forget to water it, no problem, just top up the water in time and it will quickly recover. If you want to create a small indoor garden, it's definitely the right choice.
Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea): although it's a vine, grown as an indoor potted plant it can also bloom profusely. Bougainvillea's flowering period is especially long, blooming for two to three months at a time, with so many flowers they weigh the branches down. But when growing bougainvillea, note that it loves sun, so it's best placed on a south-facing windowsill, and it doesn't need frequent watering; wait until the soil is completely dry before watering, which makes it easier to bloom.
